NOODLE CUTTER.

Application filed `May 9,

To all Iipv/10m if may concern Be it known that I, STANIsLAW 'ing a plurality of uniformly spaced disc cutters, with means for clearing the sides of the cutters from any adherent particles.v

Another purpose is to produce an appaia tus which, in addition to the series of spaced cutters, is provided with a single cutter so arranged as to be held in an extended operative position as in trimming the edges of the dough or folded out of the way when not in use. y

A further aim is in the provision of an apparatus, easy to operate, cheap to construct and capable of long service.

These several objects are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, forniing part of this disclosure, and in 4which-#- Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the invention, parts being broken away to show the construction. 1

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure l..

Figure t is a partial side, partial sectional view, showing a modification in construction.

In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 the device will be seen to consist of a rigid frame, made from a single strand of round wire bent to form a looped handle 10, convenient in shape and size to be grasped, the end elements 11 of the handle being turned oppositely outward and then bent to extend as parallel sides 12.

Near the outer ends of the sides 12 are secured the ends of a smaller wire lfdisposed DoLNY, ai citizen of United States, residing at Read-g 1924. serial No. 712,024.

transversely to receive the pintles v-16 formed` f 'v1-5295879 T oFFicE.

on the ends of a spindle 17, the shouldersfof which abut the flat surfaces12.

hounted on the spindle y17'are a pair adjustable collars 18, having between them a plurality of washers 19 andinterjacent,the

washers are circular cutters or discs 20, all

of which are freely rotatable on' the spindle between the fixed collars 18. i y

In parallel spaced relation to the spindle 1T are a pair of rods 21, also mounted in the frame sides 12, at uniform distances from the spindle and held from longitudinal displacement by tixed collars 22 abutting the flat inner surfaces of the sides.

`Strung `on the rods 21 are plates 23, their upper edges being 4cut out-,as at 24 lto clear the washers 19, with which they equal in thickness. Thus these plates act asdistancey pieces, but more particularly as wipers or Scrapers for the discs, as the latter are rol tated.

Another rod25 is mounted in the frame sides 12, adjacent the handle elements 11 and held in place by fixed collars 26. The vends of the rodv25 are drilled transversely to agree with similar openings in the frame sides 12 and are receptive of cotterv pins 27 which hold the rod in either of its adjusted positions.

The central portion of the rod.25 is bentto form a loop .28 on which is rotatably mounted a single cutting disc 29 flanked by j fixed collars 30 and which may be used in` trimming the edges of a batch of flattened dough.

Thus the disc when not in yuse may be raised into the position shown in full lines in Figure 2 or disposed in operative position 'as indicated by thebroken lines in the same ligure. l

A similar construction is'- observable in Figure 4t except a plate handle 31 from which extend side plates 32 carrying the spindle 19, rods 21, cutters and Scrapers before described and also having mounted between the cutter disc 29 on the looped or cranked portion of the rod 25, it beinel a matter of choice which ot the frame structures are preferable, the operation being es sentiallythe same. y i

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire torsecure by Letters Patent, is

1..A noodle cuttercomprising a handled frame, a transverse spindle therein, a series lll) of cutter pdscs revoluble on the spindle7 spacers between said discs, means to confine said discsand spacers on said sp1ndle, a rod fra-ine,l a transverse spindle therein, afseries' ofl cutter ldiscsrevoluble Von the spindle, Washers interchangeably engaged intermediate said cuttersgiods mounted in said iframe to extend in uniform' `spaced relation on both sides of said spindle, Wiper plates engaged at their ends on said rods between each pair oi'discs, said platesbeing interchangeable and free on theirod's, and means for confining. said discs in adjustment on said spindle.

Washers interchangeably engaged intermedi-V ate said cutters, rods mounted in said frame to extend in uniform spaced relation on both sides oit said spindle, Wiper plates engaged at theii` ends on said rods between eaclrpair of discs, said platesbeing interchangeable and free on the rods, a single rod in said frame7 said single rod having a'. cranked central portiomacutter disc'thereon, and' means for rigidly maintaining said dise in either an operative or' inoperative position.`

In Witness Whereofl have signed my name to this specification.
